'It's Sad' - Dan Patrick Shares Thoughts About Pete Rose Amid New Documentary Series | 7/26/24

Dan Patrick shares his thoughts about Pete Rose after watching the first 2 parts of a new 4 part documentary series about the Pete Rose gambling story

Pete Rose will never make the HOF - brought to you by DraftKings.

It amazes me . hold our sports icons to a higher standard than our politicians.

[mattlaeff]

What a world. Every single radio, TV, internet, phone, tells us how exciting gambling is. All day, every second.

It does not matter what you or the HOF says or doesn't say about Pete Rose. He was one of the best players in the history of Baseball. Pete Rose is an imperfect human being, just like you and me. He did the work. He made the sacrifices. Gambler or not, he deserves the credit.

I went to Cooperstown about nine years ago. Pete didn't have a plaque in the Plaque Gallery but there was a display with Pete's bat and a few other items of his (jersey and glove, I think). He hasn't been inducted but the HOF recognized his accomplishments.

[joeschmoe]

The personality you describe as Pete's - never apologize, keep going forward - that made him a great player, also made him an addict.

[RafaelSoltren]

You will never take away his 4 thousand hits……..

[rickgarcia]

Charlie Hustle. 😢 one of my childhood idols.

I'm 60yrs old now wow Pete was a killer player remember watching he played hard

Nellie Fox hit 2 home runs for the White Sox in his 1959 MVP season.

Great convo Patrick. I could see the pain in your eyes and in your voice as you spoke about arguably one of the greatest players in the history of the game we all love. RIP Pete.

It's hard for me to sympathize with Pete. He lied to his teammates about betting. Joe Morgan and Johnny Bench then went to bat for him to get him in the HOF. He denied it until he wrote the book that he admitted it. Joe and Johnny then had nothing to do with him. They would never come back to the HOF if Pete made it in. He's a compulsive liar as well as compulsive gambler. You made your bed...

[davidtran]

Ichiro won the MVP in 2001 hitting only 8 HRs.

[nnis]

If I were Rose, I wouldn't care anymore. It has been too long. Keep your HOF. Life goes on.

[donjulio]

If patrick is allowed on the radio then rose should be in the hall of fame

[ytjake]

FYI Dan- the Harrelson/Rose fight wasn't random. When Joe Morgan was doing commentary on Reds TV years ago, he said that Harrelson did some trash talking against the Reds during the '73 NLCS, and Joe and Pete made a pact that whichever one of them got a shot to take Bud out at second base first would do it, and Pete got the first shot. Harrelson and Rose would later play on the Phillies together and became good friends. They both joked about that scuffle in later years.

Dan, I've enjoyed your show for two decades now and appreciate your objectivity. Much love to you, many of us have enjoyed you for years!

Contrition is the best and most curative medicine. For a period of 5 years I worked as an expert white collar defense in financial matters. The best defense to avoid jail was contrition.

As a Pittsburgh Pirates fan whose heart was broken by the Big Red Machine in 1970 & 1972 ... Pete Rose belongs in the Hall of Fame.

[kingofmars]

Pete Rose has nobody to blame but himself. He willingly agreed to a lifetime ban, because he knows he committed baseball's cardinal sin.
